Rationale:

Pursuant to Education Codes 33219 and 42127, the governing board of each school district shall adopt a budget on or before July 1 of each year, using the State-adopted Criteria and Standards and in the format prescribed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Following board adoption of the budget, the budget is then filed with the County Superintendent of Schools for review.  Per Education Code 42103, the District is required to publish the time, date, and location of the public hearing to adopt the budget.  This action is consistent with the budget calendar previously adopted by the Board.

The 2018-2019 Adopted Budget is the culmination of the Budget Assumptions as approved by the Board on May 7, 2018, update from the Governor’s May Revision, the 2018-2019 Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) as presented at the June 7, 2018 Board meeting, advice from the San Mateo County Office of Education, and board directed budget input.  While the District’s budget must be adopted by July 1, certain state and local information is not available until after this date.  The 2018-2019 budget is based on the most current financial information available at the time of budget development.  Revisions to the budget are made throughout the year to reflect changes in revenue and expenditures as they become known. 

The draft 2018-2019 Budget was presented to the Board for information and the Public Hearing was held at the June 7, 2018 regular Board meeting.  The proposed budget is available for inspection at the District Office.

9.2. Public Hearing: Proposed Increase to Developer Fees as Authorized by Education Code 17620
Rationale:

Every two years the State Allocation Board adjusts the statutory level for fees that a public school district can assess developers to mitigate impacts on housing students within its schools.  Effective January 2018, the maximum fee was increased to $3.79 per square foot for residential development and $0.61 per square foot for commercial/industrial development. 

Currently the San Mateo-Foster City School District is levying $3.48 per square foot for residential development and $0.56 per square foot for commercial/industrial development.  Per the existing agreement with San Mateo Union High School District, the elementary district receives 60% and the high school district receives 40% of these rates.

In order for a public school district to increase its developer fees, a district must document the nexus between the new developments and the school facilities to be funded. 

The attached Developer Fee Study, produced by the consulting firm of Jack Schreder & Associates, concludes that the District is justified in increasing the developer fees charges. 

Resolution No. 27/17-18 allows the District to increase its developer fees to the statutory limit of $3.79 per square foot for residential and up to $0.61 per square foot for commercial/industrial.  At those rates, the District will receive $2.274 for residential development and $0.366 per square foot for commercial/industrial development. 

Based on the square footage for fees received in 2017-18, this increase may result in an estimated increased in developer fee income of $94,000 per year. 

Developer fees are deposited in Fund 25 and are used to provide facilities required due to enrollment growth. 

This adjustment to the developer fees will become effective on August 20, 2018. 

The public will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed adjustment to developer fees prior to the Board adopting the resolution to increase the fees.

Rationale:

Staff will present the recent information on the cost estimates for the Measure X Phase One projects:  the new school in Foster City, the two Middle School Gym & Classroom projects at Abbott and Borel, and the one Middle School Gym project at Bayside Academy.  As construction costs continue to escalate throughout the Bay Area, staff has met repeatedly with the architects on each of the projects to review cost estimates and examine ways to refine scope and value engineer the projects in order to contain costs.  Tonight's presentation will review the work that has been done to achieve cost savings, the current cost estimates, and possible solutions for closing the remaining budget overages.
